Good Vibrations (Fil-um)
Watched this last night. All about Terri Hooley - the man who brought punk rock to Belfast when everyone else was deserting the city because of the Troubles. Absolutely lovely film; that's the best way I can describe it. A really heart-felt, heart-warming picture about a guy who did all the wrong things for all the right reasons. Recommended
8/10
yeah, I saw it at the cinema earlier in the year
the bit when he hears Teenage Kicks for the first time :')))))
Lovely scene - even if you knew what was going to happen
I liked how they held off using Teenage Kicks on the soundtrack until that scene.
Aside: one of the reasons I didn't score it higher than 8/10 was the guy who played Peel. Put it this way - he was no Michael Sheen
*after that scene
I know a couple of people worked as extras in this
I have yet to see it though
Does the filum cover when he has a fight with John Lennon and John punches his eye out?
urban myth I think (probably made up by Malcolm MacLaren)
The first scene of the film shows how he lost his eye when he was a kid
I thought it was put about by hooley himself
not that it actually happened
just that he likes to make things up
not that it actually happened

Urban myth (probably made up by Malcolm MacLaren)
It actually begins with a scene showing him losing his eye when he was a kid
I like how double posts are still a thing
but now they're about fifteen minutes apart
looks good cheers
saw on a plane like yesterday
really enjoyed it! the guy who played terri was pretty great and i did kinda stick with him despite all his dumb mistakes. also obviously the soundtrack was really fun
did you spot Lily's dad getting thanked in the credits? :D
great filum
not convinced that all of the things in the filum actually happened* but there you are now
*Belfast mates
Fair point
I think with any biopic there is always an element of make-believe to further the point/story (see also e.g. The Damned United). But I think it captured the essence of the guy very well
